Techniques and Efficiencies from Building a Real-Time DBMS
Summary: Experience report on Aerospike’s decade-long optimization for millisecond SLAs, predictable performance, strong consistency, and near-zero downtime at massive scale. Distinctive techniques span smart-client routing, two-copy replication, memory/flash tiering, elastic clustering, and NUMA-aware execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
